This is a dumb game of whackamole that they’ll never win.

If you’re affected just switch your dns to Quad9 or something.

Or run your own DNS with Unbound. Just takes a raspberry pi and/or other cheap low power PC.

Yep. Only reason I recommend not to is if you're concerned about your ISP seeing your DNS queries. I use internally hosted DNS with forwarders to Quad9 using secure DNS so that my DNS queries are segregated and hidden from my ISP.
